So I downloaded and ran this little program, hoping to find where 58.5 Gb
had gone on one of my drives, but
Sadly it don't help. I click on the ghost image and it tells me I have  58.5
gig of "Unknown Space". 
Oh well, I only paid £70 for a new terabyte drive a couple of months ago.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Where has my disc space gone?

But where your space has gone will depend on which OS you are running; 
Vista can easily eat 35GB all on its own.

To see where it's gone exactly, though, I recommend SpaceSniffer:-

http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/index.html

This elegant free program builds a treemap of your disc usage 
dynamically.

Treemapping is explained at:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treemapping

but it's good just to download SpaceSniffer, point it at your hard disc, 
and run it to see treemapping in action; then you get the idea pretty 
quickly.

Any big block that you want to drill down into, just double-click to 
zoom and up it comes.

This is a GREAT program!
